Jazzmoose Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 $4.24 out here yesterday. I'm learning to fill up in the morning; miss at least one price increase! Quote

Tim McG Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) $4.79 today...what the hell is going on here? Edited June 21, 2008 by GoodSpeak Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 I think it's called getting reamed. Quote
r0CkiStAh Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Think that everyone is missing the point of this oil crisis. We need a new resource not more oil. We need a solution to this problem not another way around it… US Offshore Oil Drilling this is the problem that Obama and McCain need to solve this problem.. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Welcome to the board. However, the reason we're "missing the point" is that we try to keep the political discussions to the politics and religion forum rather than letting it drift all over the board. Admittedly, we're not always successful... Quote
AndrewHill Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Now back to our regularly scheduled complaining: $4.02 Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 4.09 in Maine - not a big problem, as I really don't feel like going anywhere - Quote
7/4 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Still holding at $3.89 here. I think it was $3.89 yesterday, but it probably went up this morning. . Quote
Tim McG Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 $4.46 here....at the Coast, over $5.00 now. Supply and demand? SheeYEAHright. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 $3.93 this morning, $4.18 when I filled up this afternoon. Stop the traders. Run over the mothers if you have gas. Should not be permitted to buy unless you are able to take delivery! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 $4.23 this morning on the way to work. $4.29 on the way home... Quote
Tim McG Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I bet you dollars to donut holes it'll be well over $5.00 by July Fourth. The greedy bastards....and no you can't have our coastline. Oil Executives: Eat shit and die! Grrrrr Edited June 27, 2008 by GoodSpeak Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Posted June 29, 2008 gas station across the street charges a $1.50 fee to use your debit / cc card. total bull... Quote
Joe G Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 $4.46 here....at the Coast, over $5.00 now. Supply and demand? SheeYEAHright. I did recently read that the world produces about 85 million barrels per day... and demands 86. Quote
BeBop Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 There really aren't any explanations other than supply and demand. Now one could argue that supply is being manipulated... (I'm not making that argument.) One could also argue that demand is manipulated (by government subsidies and taxes.) Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Cost me $125 to fill up my van for one gig (up in Alpena, MI, a four hour drive from Lansing) and I had to put more in on the way back. I'm going to have to switch instruments. It costs too much to haul a Hammond and Leslie around. Nose flute, here I come! Quote

Tim McG Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 There really aren't any explanations other than supply and demand. Now one could argue that supply is being manipulated... (I'm not making that argument.) One could also argue that demand is manipulated (by government subsidies and taxes.) With $18 Billion dollar quarterly profits for the oil companies? C'mon. That is a clear indication of greed, my friend. There is no supply problem here. Quote
BeBop Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 We're not 'singing different songs' here. It's supply and demand, an equation that makes profits (and losses) possible. To grossly simplify, if no one wanted gas, or if it was available in unlimited quantity, it would be free. You say "greed"; I say (possible) supply manipulation; potato/potahto. Quote
BFrank Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 There are some stations here in SF that are already charging $5/gal for premium. Should have my new Prius within a couple of weeks (on a wait list ...). Can't wait. Quote
